As part of my goals for the year, I wanted to try one new recipe a week. Now that I’m student teaching and off at a really nice time, I have plenty of chances to cook new foods! Tonight was a new sauce for simple seared chicken, courtesy of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook a coworker got me for Christmas. It’s nothing fancy, but it added a really nice flavor. Seared is my favorite way to cook chicken, so I drizzled this on top of two chicken breasts and seared them in hot olive oil in a frying pan for about 15-20 minutes, until the temperature inside the chicken reached 160 degrees.

and that’s it! I really liked it though – definitely will remember this in the future when I just want to cook up some chicken in a hurry. I served this with broccoli and homemade mashed potatoes, and a glass of red wine (we were out of white, oops!).
